Mixed Berry-Almond Gratin

Description:

How simple and delicious are berries topped with a rich custard and baked into a crusty dessert (or breakfast) gratin. No one will ever guess that you've replaced much of the butter in traditional almond cream with tofu.

1/3 cup slivered almonds, (1 1/4 ounces)

1/2 cup granulated sugar, or , Splenda Granular

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

Pinch of salt

1 large egg

1/3 cup firm silken low-fat tofu

1 tablespoon butter, softened

1/4 teaspoon pure almond extract
